This week, CNN is hosting a Donald Trump Town Hall with the man who tried to kill American democracy. Is it wrong for CNN to have Trump on the show? And what's up with the polls? Plus, a new segment that's all about boobs.
00:01:04.000Eastern, CNN's Presidential Town Hall and the Crowder livestream.
00:01:08.000Guests and drinking game rules to follow.
00:01:14.000You know, growing up like a Chinese kid in a country full of danger, besieged by the Colombian Civil War, I didn't have access to sanitary or modern toilets.
00:01:28.000I only had a brothel on the radio, which was a luxury.
00:01:32.000That's why I'm so grateful to Mug Club.
00:01:37.000Not only do they give me this toilet with strong water, But more importantly, I have access to all the shows of The
00:03:22.000We also have some information that's...
00:03:25.000I should say curious regarding the Alan shooter.
00:03:28.000We have more information now, and the more information that comes out, the more you don't believe said information, because the purveyors of information are CIA plants.
00:03:37.000I kind of just gave away... Spoiled the segment.
00:05:09.000There's a huge difference between what is happening in this White House, in administration, and what is happening with the American people on the ground.
00:05:17.000It really is, uh, it's heartening to see.
00:10:35.000Remember, that was a big thing that everyone was...
00:10:38.000You don't think Motley Crue, you don't think definitely, you don't think the Rolling Stones, like this is something famous people, it's not a good thing.
00:10:45.000And that's probably because you're a conservative Christian, right, where you're saying, okay, it's not a good thing to go around and be promiscuous and sleep, but the truth is, this was glorified by Hollywood for decades, and now they want to, you would, you would sleep with a groupie?
00:11:29.000You think that the Communist government of China should be able to buy land in the United States?
00:11:33.000And if you think that a governor saying, yeah, no, hold on, communists who are hell-bent on the destruction of America shouldn't be able to own land here, do you think that's big government?
00:11:40.000Because that's the argument they're going to use.
00:13:57.000I wanted to tell you about a Chinese restaurant I went in and I heard the funniest sh** that I ever heard in my life was a Chinese person that stuttered.
00:15:33.000On Monday, Governor Ron DeSantis, he signed now into law this legislation banning the, and just to be clear, when people say stop Asian hate, stop Chinese hate, that was racism, it's not Asian hate, it's Chinese hate.
00:17:14.000So if you have dual citizenship, United States and Chinese, you can still buy land.
00:17:17.000If you've been here for a certain period of time, you can still buy land.
00:17:20.000What they're trying to do is to make sure that the Chinese Communist Party can't come in and just buy up land, which is what they do around the world.
00:17:27.000So it stops Chinese nationals themselves.
00:17:30.000It doesn't stop any Americans, put it that way.
00:18:06.000Of course the media is completely outraged, right, over these kinds of bills.
00:18:10.000And here is something, again, this is, I've told you this, they'll try and turn this against you and say, well, any, so if you support any legislation, you're not a conservative because that means you support big government.
00:19:13.000You can comment if you agree, if you disagree, if you think that's un-libertarian of me, but of course this is the argument that the left is using their outrage by the fact that communists cannot purchase land in Florida.
00:19:24.000People said that when the Japanese took over, you know, Pebble Beach, they bought Pebble Beach, and they bought 30 Rock, that it was the end of the American century.
00:20:52.000It's like, why do we care what these people think?
00:20:55.000It's not Chinese citizens of the United States that we're talking about, Joe Scarborough, a former Republican congressman, I think, at some point.
00:23:48.000Also, by the way, this is something else.
00:23:49.000You can even look at immigration laws in Mexico.
00:23:51.000We have some of the most, not only relaxed, not only tolerant, but subsidized policies as it relates to immigrants coming, not just illegal immigrants, but foreign nationals coming here to the United States and foreign governments.
00:24:03.000People don't realize that in Mexico, if you're not a citizen, the level of limitations on your rights, I don't know the exact law.
00:24:10.000Someone can bring it from the control room.
00:24:31.000Or within 100 kilometers of the border, I believe.
00:24:33.000Of an international border, which they only have two, so.
00:24:35.000Can you imagine if we said, so if you're Mexican here, you're not a natural born American, you can't buy property within 50 kilometers of the beach.
00:24:45.000You mean like the only land I would ever want to buy in Mexico?
00:24:50.000No, I'm saying in California or Florida.
00:24:52.000Imagine if we didn't allow them anywhere near the beach.
00:28:18.000Also, Bud Light, we just said that was a win for you.
00:28:20.000What is happening in the American public?
00:28:22.000And I get it, it's easy to think doom and gloom.
00:28:24.000Now there might be a point where the, I guess the divergence is so stark between the government and the leftist activists, and that's the entire Democratic
00:28:34.000Party, and the average American, that things unfortunately could go sideways, they could get
00:28:40.000Because right now, every single poll that we have available to us, and every single sort of recent
00:28:45.000cultural shift that you have seen, it has been an irrefutable rejection of progressivism, of leftism.
00:28:54.000People said, come on, the Bud Light thing, that's too much.
00:28:56.000Maybe not all Americans, but enough to affect the company.
00:28:59.000Same thing now when you look at the polls, the presidential polls between Biden and either of the two potential Republican candidates, Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis.
00:29:07.000Biden's losing, but there's more than meets the eye.
00:29:10.000So let's show CNN not happy about it first.
00:29:13.000In the first real snapshot, if you will, of President Biden's standing since his re-election announcement, voters are saying he has real work to do.
00:29:23.000A new Washington Post-ABC News news poll found that 58% of Democrats and Democratically Independents that they want the party, their party, to nominate someone
00:34:11.000This is the first time in our generation where there is enough of a contrast.
00:34:15.000There actually may be some value in the fact that the contrast is so stark, even though Donald Trump is arguably the most bombastic dick that we've ever had in office.
00:34:26.000He still did such a better job than Barack Obama and his proxy, former Vice President Biden, that people are reverting back to Donald Trump in these polls.
00:34:35.000That's a very powerful message, as opposed to DeSantis, who would be an unknown.
00:34:40.000Now, let me give you some examples here really quickly of some previous polls from Washington Post and ABC.
00:34:46.000I don't know if they were always when they merged, because they used to do separate polls.
00:34:49.000Now it's been, I know, at least since 2016.
00:34:51.000So at this point in time, In the 2016 election, meaning the primaries, Hillary was leading by two.
00:34:59.000And then the aggregate poll, because they weren't doing the pre-presidential polls, they didn't really have the same kind of primary season, the aggregate with Washington Post, ABC, same poll, had Biden up by 12.
00:38:56.000So you see a national election right now.
00:38:59.000Which, we'll get back to that, but you look at the cultural issues, and this is why we've talked about this, I did, there are only two genders change my mind, I think about seven years ago, I don't know, it was 27, the first one was 2016, maybe it was 2017.
00:39:11.000I've always said this is one of the most important issues of our time.
00:42:28.000Take those numbers and listen to what the media say.
00:42:31.000Listen to what That's what Vice President Joe Biden says.
00:42:33.000Listen to what Kamala Harris and KGP and all of these people on the left in Congress, listen to what they say, and then look at those numbers.
00:42:39.000They are trying to desperately convince you that you do not exist.
00:42:42.000And when it doesn't, yes, the gaslighting is to an almost clinical and legal degree.
00:42:47.000In other words, 70% of Americans say, how high of a percentage do you think it would be if they actually conducted the poll?
00:42:55.000Guarantee you that would be in the, if they don't want it discussed in elementary school, 80-something percent.
00:43:01.000They would say, so you do not support gender-affirming care?
00:43:04.000In other words, the vast majority of Americans are saying, hands off our kids, come on, they're saying gender-affirming care, and Disney is saying, after Dark Pride Nights, ages 3 and up, Parker Brothers!
00:43:15.000I don't understand why a two-year-old couldn't go up a three-year-old or a one-year-old.
00:44:39.000In other words, the electability issue, if these hold relatively stable, that's kind of out the window.
00:44:45.000In other words, you don't have to say, well, I like Donald Trump, but DeSantis may be more electable, or I like DeSantis, but I think that Donald Trump has, you know, he'll probably have more money for the campaign.
00:44:55.000You, in the primary, get to decide who do you want to be president, period, because either one of them beat this guy.
00:45:35.000So in this world, if both of them could beat Joe Biden, I was on the DeSantis train because I was worried about Donald Trump's electability.
00:45:42.000Yeah, so a long time ago, a while back we were discussing...
00:46:02.000And I even made that point several times.
00:46:03.000I said I would vote for Donald Trump if he was the nominee 100% and I would have no problems doing it.
00:46:08.000To be clear, I think everyone here would vote for either one.
00:46:10.000But I thought, OK, look, if DeSantis can take the best qualities from Trump and continue that somewhat brashness, like that disrespect for fake kind of media, And accomplish things, then I think he was a better candidate in the general.
00:46:25.000But now that that really seems to be going away, and honestly, I don't think this number gets better for Biden.
00:46:30.000I think it gets so bad for Biden, in fact, that the Democrats push somebody else into the position.
00:46:34.000I don't think that'll happen, but continue.
00:46:43.000I now have no problem at all, because I know that if this poll is holding true, and obviously you have to get to the general election and actually see that that's holding.
00:46:51.000Assuming it's the most free and fair election ever.
00:46:53.000It would absolutely be the most free and fair election ever.
00:46:58.000It would actually change my mind from DeSantis because I'm not interested in who I think should be president if I don't think they're going to win.
00:47:05.000I'm interested in getting the best person into the office and if that means it's DeSantis, then it's DeSantis.
00:47:10.000But now it looks like All bets are off, and it could be Trump, and I would rather have that.
00:47:15.000I would rather DeSantis run Florida for four more years, and then carry the torch for another eight as president, if that is what happens after Trump, and have 12 years of those two guys combined.
00:47:23.000Well, that is an important point, too, because, again, you have that contrast.
00:47:26.000You have Obama, you have Trump, then you have Biden, right?
00:47:30.000And so I think continuing that contrast, which I do think would be very fruitful.
00:47:34.000Look, Donald Trump made a lot of mistakes.
00:47:36.000I actually hope he clears out the swamp, which he did not do last time.
00:47:42.000I think seeing the contrast economically, seeing the contrast as far as the freedom that we experience here in the United States, I do think that there would be a real value in him being, and that would actually pave the way more effectively for DeSantis.
00:47:52.000Whereas DeSantis could do really well, but people might not in their mind go, oh, so it's kind of like a continuance of Trump.
00:47:57.000People then have short-term memories and they say, let's try something new.
00:48:00.000They go from something new to something new.
00:49:52.000Like present a picture and be like, now what I have here is DeSantis' father right next To Mr. Ted Cruz's dad, right there at the Grassy Knoll!
00:51:39.000The winning margin is just, you know, okay, the point is, it's weird, okay, you all understand that it's weird, you want to protect your kids, and either Donald Trump or DeSantis, hey, maybe that means that Swami has a chance.
00:52:41.000So let's go to, speaking of terrorists, The Shooter and Allen.
00:52:45.000Look, obviously this is a heavy topic, we covered it yesterday, but I think now there's some, there's some, what should I say, discrepancies?
00:52:53.000And you comment below, and hit the like button, share, any of that stuff that helps the algorithm, but comment if you've been following this, and it's hard to sort of parse through what's real and what's not.
00:53:02.000So we've done our best here to try and consolidate this for you, and give you a clear picture as to What is, at the very least, fundamentally dishonest, and what some motives might be behind that.
00:53:13.000So, um, anyway, Allen, Texas, the shooter, uh, Mauricio Garcia, we didn't ment- we mentioned his name yesterday, we weren't going to, but at this point, you know what?
00:53:22.000All of these shooters- when the news decides which manifestos they unearth, okay, either it all has to be open or none of it has to be open.
00:53:29.000The only thing more dangerous than a lack of truth, in my opinion, is half-truths.
00:53:34.000I really do think that that can be more corrosive.
00:53:36.000So, This is why we're going to try and be as transparent as possible.
00:53:39.000So Mauricio Garcia, some of his social media was allegedly unearthed.
00:53:44.000And I say allegedly because there's a lot behind this.
00:53:46.000The Texas Department of Public Safety in charge of this investigation has yet to hold a news conference or release information about the shooter.
00:53:53.000But WFAA has obtained a bulletin sent to law enforcement agencies about Garcia.
00:53:58.000It paints him as a radical, saying, initial review and triage of the subject's social media accounts Okay, there's a lot here that doesn't add up.
00:54:07.000So, first off, you would think, oh, social media, okay, so Facebook, maybe Instagram, maybe Fortune.
00:54:11.000extremist rhetoric, including neo-Nazi material and material espousing the supremacy of the
00:55:49.000By the way, Tim, I don't believe it, just to be clear, okay?
00:55:51.000I don't think that you've radicalized anybody.
00:55:56.000And then of course, unhinged diatribes, but praising the Nashville shooter.
00:56:01.000Which wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for a Nazi white supremacist considering that it was a trans-liberal activist, but again you haven't had that manifesto even though now they've retrieved his number two social media Russian platform classmates.
00:57:28.000We make our decisions and we stand by them.
00:57:29.000So let me bring you to coincidence number one.
00:57:32.000The social media posts, again the number two social media platform of Russia, they were found, they were discovered And this is something pretty, pretty interesting by a researcher.
00:58:05.000Now coincidentally, Mr. Tolar, this reporter, again coincidentally, also the reporter who discovered the source of the leaked Pentagon documents last month.
00:58:15.000He then worked with the New York Times to break the story, just to be clear.
00:58:20.000This brings us to, now you might just say he's an investigative journalist, right?
00:58:23.000He's really, really good at finding Pentagon information and finding American Hispanics in the number two Russian classmate site.
00:59:37.000Whenever we had to talk to our liaison partners about it, key word there, it was a dramatic
00:59:41.000Instead of trying to have things cleared or worry about classification issues, you could just reference their work.
00:59:47.000Their work meaning Bellingcat, the place that employs this man who found the Russian classmate's information, of course, which is now the narrative that he was a neo-Nazi.
00:59:56.000By the way, if you're saying, okay, so some intelligence agency sent some money to some other companies that went to this, but it's not like they received any direct American funding.
01:00:08.000Because the founder of Bellingcat in 2016, the guy's name is Elliot Higgins, he said they never received government funding.
01:00:21.000So you've got a reporter who works for an organization, who also happened to find Pentagon information, an organization that wouldn't, almost like PBS, would not exist if not for money funneled from the CIA and intelligence agencies, and directly from the federal government, happening to unearth this information.
01:00:37.000Yes, and by the way, he found it on the number two, I know we've made a joke, the number two social media site for a country that's not known for being social.
01:00:44.000If I gave you Like, 50 guesses of countries' social media sites that you could search.
01:00:50.000Russia would not even be on the list of places to go and look.
01:04:07.000I don't think we want to be incentivising any more behaviour like this.
01:04:12.000We saw with the Christchurch shooting that manifesto not be published and I think...
01:04:18.000And here's the thing, I agree with that in spirit.
01:04:23.000If you weren't pulling every single reaching motivation from the number two Russian social media platform to try and say that we have an epidemic, do you not care about inspiring other white supremacists?
01:04:38.000There's no consistency in the application and so either all of it has to be sealed or none of it is sealed and the public needs to know.
01:04:46.000Either the public has a right to know all of the motivations for these shooters or none of it.
01:05:16.000I read through the post today before the show and the thing that struck me was that there were no slurs whatsoever.
01:05:23.000In that, which is not exactly like a white supremacist who's about ready to die by going and killing people, because you know you're going to die.
01:05:28.000So this guy was willing to get Nazi tattoos and SS tattooed on his firearms.
01:05:33.000He was like, I better not drop the n-bomb on a Russian social media site.
01:06:18.000I don't know if I need to say this, but that's anti-Semitic as well, right?
01:06:23.000So he was basically saying he had a Jewish teacher who was Miss, I think it was Miss White Karen or Miss White whatever, that he referred to her as.
01:06:31.000Never referred to her in any way as anti-Semitic, but he just made a mistake.
01:06:36.000Jews aren't white according to skinheads, to white supremacists.
01:06:42.000You would never lump Jews into the same box that you're in and promoting if you are a white supremacist.
01:06:47.000Some of these things just don't really add up.
01:06:50.000And other people have looked at it, like doctors, and said, look, I've read a lot of these manifestos, I've read a lot of these writings, and it doesn't match up with something that a sociopath would say.
01:06:59.000It seems like it has kind of the flow of it, But it has none of the other things that you would look for as kind of hallmarks of some of these manifestos, and it's like, this just looks too... it just looks too conspired.
01:07:10.000And people say, oh, the conspiracy theorists?
01:09:53.000Three Asian people and a couple of white people so far.
01:09:56.000I don't see any black people who were mortally wounded.
01:10:00.000Which, of course, by the way, it's wrong.
01:10:02.000It's horrible that anybody was shot, but it just doesn't match up with the motive that you have been told.
01:10:07.000And please, by the way, if you are watching right now, please share the show because we are about to continue to discuss a topic that I know nothing about.
01:10:14.000But actually, I guess there's a... Gerald, fill me in on this because we're going to Mug Club.
01:10:17.000Yeah, we'll go to Mug Club and talk more about it.
01:10:19.000But it turns out when you wait for more information, especially when it involves kind of the Me Too stuff, you find out that, oh, it's not exactly how you were told.
